DAN DA DAN × Ikaho — Free Pilgrimage Map
DAN DA DAN Episode 12’s hot-spring town, Orochi Onsen, has been widely identified by fans as Ikaho Onsen in Gunma, Japan — a real resort built around a 365-step stone staircase. This free map shows 5 highlights and how to reach the stone-step street. All five sit along the same single street.
Getting there (all 5 spots)
Take the Kan-etsu bus from JR Shibukawa Station to the “Ishidan-gai-guchi” bus stop (~25 min). From there, all five spots are along the single stone-step street, uphill.
